Northeast BC is not the mountainous region you might be thinking of but is a lot more like northern Alberta. In this article I want to get into the specifics of investing and talk about who will buy investment property in Northeast BC, why, and (most importantly) what this means for you.
In a previous article, “Northeast BC: Investing Money In An Overlooked Region,” I started laying out a few reasons why one should invest money in Northeast BC, also known as the Peace Region. In this article I want to show you that Northeast BC is poised for serious, explosive growth in the next few years, and that it is going to be driven largely by oil and gas, specifically by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). As such, I continue my endeavour to explain why investing in property here is an intelligent decision.
Throughout Canada’s history, we’ve seen many areas of the country experience booms. Sometimes it’s one province or another, other times it’s a city or a region. These booms attract massive development, and we look with envy on anyone investing money with the foresight to profit when things heat up. There’s no magical incantation that allows us to peer into the future and know when a boom is coming. Investors who invest early are not fortune tellers, they’re detectives who spot the clues. They look at early data and make an educated guess.
It’s one of the hottest words in real estate investing, but really, why all the fuss about cash flow? Well, here are a few of the reasons that cash flow is getting so much attention these days.
An unprecedented shortfall in Japan’s liquefied natural gas supplies through 2017 is poised to push cargo prices toward a two-year high, benefiting suppliers from BG Group Plc to Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Most of us know someone close to us who has created a lot of wealth through real estate. Often, we attribute their success to the fact that there is something “different” about them, or they got lucky. The truth is, there is something “different” about them, and luck has very little to do with it. The difference is that they understand that more millionaires have been created by real estate than by any other means. They focus on the opportunity at hand, not on excuses for not investing.
While growth in Emerging Economies will require a vast amount of resources, one resource that is changing the landscape in Northern BC more than any other is natural gas. Currently, Asia (China, Japan, South Korea) has a critical shortage of natural gas, and this shortage has been exacerbated by the Tsunami that hit Japan last year, causing a shift from nuclear power to natural gas.

Educate Yourself Knowledge can take you from being a “good” investor to a great investor. This has always been true. What is going to separate you from the pack is how much research you put into your investments and how often. Markets are always changing, new trends are always beginning, old trends are always reversing. If you dedicate yourself to researching and refining your investment strategies and you remain focused on investing in regions where economic growth is booming (which leads to job creation and population growth you will reap the benefits of a stable appreciation in the real estate…
We’ve said this before: the most important part of any real estate purchase is its long term performance. This appreciation builds real wealth. With an ability to identify long term performance trends, it’s not hard to pick the right region in which to buy property. The hard part is doing enough research on the region beforehand that will help inform your decision as much as possible. There is one major factor to this research that will go a long way in helping you do so: GDP growth. What Is GDP? The gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the most…
The Senior Management at Western Canadian Properties Group have developed and sold over 12,000 properties over the last 20 years, through a well-proven and investor-friendly system that we believe the best in the industry today. The residential real estate cycle is not difficult to predict – as long as you track the right numbers. For example, northeast B.C. had record land sales in 2008. This was driven by large companies buying massive tracts of land in order to secure access to a valuable resource. In this case, the resource was natural gas. To buy before the crowd, you need to…
Since 2010, it’s become more common and more popular for people to invest in real estate. Investors are shying away from the stock market. Why? It’s become volatile. Some History The in 1980s the large financial institutions marketed “freedom 55”. The idea was to build up a “nest egg” of $1 million by the time you were 55 years of age, invest it in a GIC at 8 – 10% and live off the income of $80, 000 – $100,000 per year. Simple and effective. In the 1990s, without warning, it suddenly became known as freedom 65. With GIC rates…
